Mercy can be murder.
Euthanasia has been banned worldwide, sick and dying people no longer have a choice but to wait until nature claims them. Or do they?
A shadowy organization known only as the Omega Group promises an end to life, on demand. The sick, the old and the tired can choose their own way out with a Mercy Contract, a murder for hire scheme where the victim is also the client.
Caleb Pike, a scruffy, determined insurance investigator, follows a lead that takes him across the country and teams him with Jenny Miller, a stunning academic. Together they work to unravel the secrets of the Mercy Contracts, a quest that pitches them against a deadly enterprise that specializes in murder for profit.
Caleb and Jenny find themselves in a dangerous race against time to end mercy contract killings before the Omega Group can stop them dead.
